The Toronto Maple Leafs centre faces a suspension and has been offered an in-person meeting with the NHL for his actions.
Kadri, you may remember, was suspended for three games in last year’s playoffs for a dirty hit on then Bruins winger Tommy Wingels.
This makes him a repeat offender.
Suspension a Near Certainty
Kadri is almost certain to be suspended. By offering him an in-person hearing, the NHL Player Safety Dept. has the right to suspend Kadri for more than five games.
Such a hefty suspension would be ridiculous.
Kadri deserves – at most – a single game.
